Prime and Netflix crashing (All models)
I just replaced a roku3 with a Roku ultra. we have 600mbit fiber with a direct Ethernet connection to the Roku. the Roku3 worked fine but was slow. The brand new Roku Ultra crashes after three second...

So far this is the only thing that makes sense (re: markgeorg1234 about PC's over heating or being pushed beyond it's memory limits).
More than likely whatever brands are making ROKU TV's have certain specs they follow. Of course they have no reason to over build so they build it with the exact amount of ram ROKU says they need. More than likely Netflix (the biggest culprit) eats up this memory faster than most other apps.
So how can ROKU address this issue when all these manufacturers followed ROKU's specs? They can't! They're certainly not going to do a major recall and this is certainly not a firmware fix. I doubt Netflix or any of the other apps will change their requirements for memory requirements.
So now what? Next step??
Oh, ROKU knows, they're hoping this fades away, and people just buys up all the inventory until they can make new TV's.
If everyone here didn't already do it, they should have gone and written a review on their TV. I know when I did, I couldn't find any reviews on the subject (in Walmart anyway), so get moving if you didn't?
Yes, you guys have nailed it. It's a memory issue. I don't think Prime or Netflix are going to modify their bloatware, so we either have to add physical memory (I don't know if that's possible on these Roku sets.) or bite the bullet and buy a new TV.
